6a. Given the following mutated sequence (with respect to the normal sequence), what TYPE of mutation occurred: AAGCTTAC

6b. Where did the mutation take place?

Section 3. Genetic Mutations (Normal Gene Sequence: AAG CGT TAC)
The following sequence (AAG CGT TAC) represents the "normal" arrangement of bases in a gene. You
will be given three (3) mutated sequences and asked to determine the type of mutation that has occured
(substitution, insertion, and deletion) AND where (or what position) the mutation took place within it.
NOTE: For the normal gene sequence, AAG represents bases 1-3, CGT represents bases 4-6, and TAC
represents bases 7-9.please reference these numbers when identifying where in the original sequence
the mutation has occurred. You can say things like "the mutation took place in base X" or "the mutation
occurred between bases X and Y"
DO NOT GIVE A GENERIC RESPONSE SUCH AS "IN THE CELL" OR "THE MUTATION OCCURRED IN THE
DNA." YOU MUST CITE THE BASE NUMBER(S) WHEN DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF THE MUTATION.
